Look for insider open market transactions

Most individuals buy and sell their stocks in the open market. They find the bid and asked price for the shares and execute their trades in the open market.
But insiders have numerous other methods for acquiring or disposing of shares such as private placement, exercise of options.
Some of the transactions are not in the open market and therefore aren’t registered in the trading volume and other statistics.
This is just common sense that if insider can buy their company’s shares at certain percent below the market value directly from the
company without paying commissions and trading costs, they can still make a nice profit even if the stock price moves only sideways
over the next year. Such an advantage obviously influences insiders’ risk/reward calculations and their decision of whether to buy.

Therefore, when insiders buy their company’s shares in the open market, they have to make the same risk/reward calculations individual
investors do. They must figure in the trading costs of paying commissions and buying at their stock’s ask price.
A decision that buying shares on the open market is worth the risk even with these costs is a much stronger signal to us.
